National Book Lovers Day by Jess Butterworth

As I write this, it is National Book Lovers
Day, a day for bibliophiles to celebrate their love of books. This day always
reminds me of Matilda, by Roald Dahl,
and the feisty five-year-old protagonist who makes her life bearable by teaching
herself to read, devouring books and surrounding herself in literature from her
local library. It’s also one of my favourite books!

In my mind, Book Lovers Day isn’t limited
to once a year, so here are some ways to celebrate your love of reading every
day!

1.Visit a library.

2. Find a favourite spot to read, or make a reading nook.

3.Try a book swap with a friend.

4.Read blogs about books.

5.Join a book club.

6.Attend a literary festival or
author event.

7.Buy a new notebook to start
your own story in.

8.Write a review. It will make an
author’s day and be valuable to other readers too.
